Funeral for slain Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei set for July, as a deal to end the war nears

Iran's state media announced funeral processions for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from July 4-9, following his death in February from a war launched by Israel and the U.S. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated a Middle East war-ending deal is imminent, with technical talks planned after the agreement is signed. Khamenei's burial will occur at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, and his son Mojtaba has assumed leadership.
